Janey, you have put into words exactly how it feels to be finished treatment. Having experienced the trauma of diagnosis and endured the marathon of treatment and its awful side effects, all the 'normal' things in life look so good! We are different, definitely better, people because we know we are strong. I am more confident now because I have a different perspective on life. I go into situations thinking, it can't be that bad!
I really like your hair, I'm glad you are feeling ok with it now. Mine is growing (slowly) but is still not much longer than 1cm. I mostly go without any covering now, but can't wait for it to look a bit more feminine. My daughter is taking regular photos which is great because I can see the progress. You don't see that when you keep looking at it everyday. I'm not hating the colour yet but guess it will look more grey as it grows in length.
Thanks for your wonderful post. I hope it helps people still facing treatment to hear that life can be good, even better, in time. It's certainly how I feel too. :) Deanne xxx
